| Objective of this research was to study the effect of spacing on growth and seed yield in seed production of the non-detasseled baby corn single-cross hybrid KBSC 605. Five spacings were 75*10 cm (133,331 plants/ha), 75*12.5 cm (106,669 plants/ha), 75*15 cm (88,887 plants/ha), 75*17.5 cm (76,187 plants/ha) and 75*20 cm (66,669 plants/ha) were tested in randomized complete block design with four replications at the National Corn and Sorghum Research Center in the dry season (December 2008-April 2009). The male: female row ratio was 1: 4 by planting the female rows before the male rows five days. It was found that the 75*10 cm spacing gave the highest seed yield at 10 percent moisture content of 2,157.5 kg/ha different from the 75*20 cm (P LT 0.01). It had... |
